raybearI don't want to go to therapy. Ha.
unfortunately I'm not kidding.
In other news, between downloading cases for research binders, I've done some minor stalking of this boy I talked to at the work event two weeks ago. I had a really good time talking to him, but then for some dumb reason I pretty much just walked away from him and didn't offer my e-mail or anything. So now I'm engaging in friend-stalking. Though I think I'm actually closer to engaging in regular stalking than the person who invented that term initally intended. The internet is a scary fount of information. Or a bubbler, depending on where you're from.
So yeah, I have his full name, and I have his e-mail address, because my co-worker sent out a mass e-mail to the volunteers thanking us for your work. I could conceivably e-mail him from that list, but what would I say? Would I offer going to lunch/coffee/dinner/beer? Would that be asking him out on a date? Would it be a date, or would it be "hanging out"? Do I want either? He was really cute, in a me sort of way. Did I just say that?
Speaking of that event, I should call up the chick we gave a ride to and say howdy. Perhaps she could also be a source for a halloween party.... I feel weird calling her up, especially since I don't have a concrete plan (i.e. I'm not calling her to see if she wants to come have dinner with us or something), but I also don't want to wait too long and then feel like the statute of limitations has run out and I can't call her. And she can't call me because she doesn't have our number. And I didn't even see her on the previously mentioned volunteer e-mail.
Ah, the minute details of maintaining social connections.
Oh, and get this -- the woman from the cultural center (and the $400 tarot gig) JUST called today, while I was eating lunch. I told Lisa to put her in my voicemail because I was expecting her to call and say "sorry, we can't hire you". But instead she was calling to say she would fax over the contract and directions. wha? So I debate about whether to take the gig, especially since she didn't call Damon back -- and he's been trying to reach her this whole time. I thought that was lame to not returns his call, and to also string us along. But...four hundred dollars is four hundred dollars. So I finally decided to take it (after talking to Damon about it too), and then she wasn't in her office! So I left a voicemail, and it's been an hour and a half! And I even left my fax number in the message, but she hasn't sent anything. So here I am, deciding to be a whore and take the money, and now she might not even call me back. What do I do if she doesn't call before 5 pm? What if she calls tomorrow? Do I say yes? I would ask for more money in exchange, but the whole reason she wasn't calling us back is because of budget issues. Hmmm. If I do the gig, I'm not getting a costume or tux -- I'm just wearing my suit. And I'm not going to do any major studying.
Hmmm...Cultural Center person just called me. And told me that they had to cut the budget and could only hire one person. I told her to call Damon and offer him the job, and if he doesn't want it, I'll take it. That way, he has an opportunity to say yes, or say no and call her a punk for not calling him back. Either way, I'm cool with it.
We shall see.....
